Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the novel, the Phippsburg townspeople are nervous about African Americans staying on Malaga Island mainly due to its closeness to the mainland. They fear integration and potential social - changes that could occur if the African American community on the island is allowed to remain close by. The other options (tall pine trees, rocks, high waves) are more related to the natural features of the island and not the main source of their nervousness about the presence of African Americans.

Answer:
